Turning AroundTomorrow we will turn around and head east. We've enjoyed San Francisco as we always do. The four of us hiked and lunched in Saratoga reminiscing about the wedding here just six months ago. It has been fun fooling around with Kate and Tom's border terrier, Banjo, a funny little guy who looks like he belongs in a Dr. Seuss book.
Doug and I took the train into town today and walked along the wharf area. I love the "bush man." He is a guy who sits on the sidewalk near Fisherman's Wharf, surrounding himself with five-foot long leafy branches. When someone walks by, usually a group of tourists or teenage girls, he jumps out at them yelling "Boo!" Everybody laughs and folks drop a dollar or two in his money bucket.
We swore that we had seen enough rocks to last a lifetime, and therefore planned to drive back East via the more northern route through Salt Lake City, Denver, St. Louis. But today I looked at the weather forecasts for Utah and Nevada, so we are heading back through the garlic capital of the world again (Gilroy, CA) and taking the southern route, retracing our steps as far as Flagstaff. More wind, but no snow. And our car door is reattached! Let the drive begin...again.
